Pearly Gates Black Set

SH-PG1b & SH-PG1n

Description

Our country fried Pearly Gates Set transforms any Les Paul style guitar into a classic rock outlaw.

The Pearly Gates neck  captures all the mojo of the original neck pickup from Billy Gibbons’  1959 Les Paul. It is a PAF with a unique tonal character, and more  midrange than typical humbuckers from that time. The result is a neck  pickup that cuts through with stronger tailored mids, but still has the  open and airy treble attack of the alnico 2 bar magnet. Combined with a  warm, spongy low end, this pickup is great for both rhythm and lead  playing.

Seymour  discovered Billy’s bridge pickup had slightly more output than most  PAFs, which helped to give it the extra drive that make this pickup so  special. The alnico 2 bar magnet keeps the high end sounding airy but  focused, and the midrange emphasis gives it a unique Texas sizzle. It  really has a growl all its own, and will help to bring any humbucker  style instrument to life.

Hand built in our  Santa Barbara, CA factory, the Pearly Gates humbuckers use an alnico 2  bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for  multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free  performance. As with all of our PAF style humbuckers, every Pearly Gates  is wound on Seymour’s original Leesona winding machine from the early  Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, for that unmistakable vintage  mojo.
